The hallway coming on at night without fumbling for the light switch was what won my wife over to my adventures in home automation. FAQs about Hue Compatible Motion Sensors 1. Do Philips Hue lights and motion sensors work together? Custom Multiple Sensors (Dust level PM2.5, Temperature, Humidity, Pressure, CO2, Abs Humidity, ADC Range, Gas & Illuminance) - Enable “Sensor Discovery” under the Tasmota Edge device “Settings” to Auto-detect & create.

Also in September I added a Aqara P1 motion sensor using an edge driver, it also dropped from the hub often during all the app/firmware changes that have occured over the last few months. I also added a Sengled ‎Smart Plugs G2 close to it and it has not dropped for a while even before 45.00011. Philips Hue outdoor motion sensor is an excellent addition to exterior lighting. It can trigger specific lights or scenes when movement is detected, providing safety and convenience. However, it’s essential to place the sensor on a flat surface or magnetic mount for optimal performance. (Words: 55, Keywords: 6) Hue Compatible Motion Sensors: Your Turn Sounds like a plan! The channel 20 information is interesting; I haven’t heard that tip before. Good to know! Also, you don’t need a smartthings hub to do this: the rules engine is built into the platform architecture. So even if all you have is some Wi-Fi switches that work with smartthings you can still take advantage of its sophisticated rules. Where SmartThings still holds a significant advantage over some of the other low-cost home automation solutions is in the ability to really build really complex rules in a fairly simple manner. You won’t have to be a programmer, but you may need the help of other community members to get the logic constructed just right.The fact that there has been no warning… battery always reports 100% even when dead and I have replaced with a new one. Ensure your mobile phone is connected to the WIFI network and the sensor is as close to the Zigbee Smart Gateway as possible Unfortunately it was bought by Comcast, and in April 2019 it was announced that Comcast was adding it to their own home automation system, and would stop supporting the free version. So any references you see to it in the forum refer to the time when it was available to anyone, but no longer apply. There are motion sensors that allow you to change the length of the cooldown period, even down to just a second or two, but doing so will significantly reduce the battery life. So it just depends on what your use case is. So in 2020, SmartThings introduced an official feature, “The Rules API,” which is similar to WebCore, although not as yet as fully developed or documented. But it is expected that in the future it will eventually provide full support for these kind of complex rules. Which is important, because when smartthings discontinues its free groovy cloud, Webcore will stop working. But the routines you can build in the smartthings app and the rules API will still work with the new architecture.

From a Drivers perspective usage breaks down like this also please note i am not saying these are the only drivers that work just the ones I am currently running. Personally, I’m a great believer in practical applications. So I usually recommend that people start by designing rules that they actually intend to use, rather than just trying to come up with the craziest most complicated rule they can imagine and then implementing that. But it’s your choice.If it is 15 minutes before sunset AND I am home, turn on the Living room light UNLESS I am watching a movie My motion sensor died Monday night - which incidentally shows how much the family have got used to ST, as there was much stumbling down the stairs in the dark. The motion sensor covers the stairs and turns on a Hue light to 20% at night - nobody thought to just turn the light on manually with an off/on motion on the switch right below the sensor The sensors can be placed anywhere you want to detect motion, or you can mount it to a wall using the provided screw. This does not interfere with your current schedules or Alexa integration. I have one in my hallway, living room, and bedroom, and it works great. that violates any law, statute, ordinance or regulation (including, but not limited to, those governing export control, consumer protection, unfair competition, anti-discrimination or false advertising); Having set everything up with the above this is the approach I take every time and every time it works to get these devices registered.
